I would say that it shows how foolish people can be and how they are changing into people who see what they did wrong. It did not show that how Americans treat immigrants from other countries at all, but that is really good

I had to read this book for my school and it was absolutely amazing! Farah is such an inspiration to me and a wonderful role model. What she has done makes me feel like if she could do that, than I could. I thought that my life was not so well, but she has had many many worse experiences than I did. Farah is a strong and brave girl and I will always remember this book and how terrifying her life was.

In the book The Other Side of the Sky< by Farah Ahmedi, there is a girl who astonishes me. She suffered every day of her life along with her mother. The loss of her family, homeland and well, leg, shows me how difficult it is around the world. This makes me realize that I take the fact that I live in a country that will protect and care for me when I need it, for granted. I was absolutely surprised in my reaction to this book. Before I read it, I foresaw myself disliking this book due to the fact it sounded like a sob story. Although, after reading it, I found myself learning a whole lot about what people in the Middle East have to do to survive and it's incredible.

I could not stop myself crying after reading this book.I found myself emotionally attached with the story.This book is inspiration for all the human beings, who are still living their life on the edge, in fact we all should salute Farah Ahmedi for her courage and faith on herself.

The absolute worst book I've ever been forced to read. I would rather gouge out my eyes with a fork than to read another page of that mindless blather. My only regret is that she did not trip and land on her face before the landmine went off, because then we all would have been put out of her misery.

I was expecting this book to be boring and lifeless but it took my breath away. It was very exciting to read all the challenges she came upon in this book. Farah proved to be an extraordinary girl and changed my point of view about many things. What I love is that it teaches you about a whole different culture and it was written not too long ago. I recomend this to anyone!! No joke--one of the best books I've ever read!
